Words matter. Words in advertising should matter. The slope is ice when we allow corporations to wordsmith around what they sell you.

Perhaps the most graceful death of a tech company is that sentiment? Before some perception shift?
Too many apparently.
This problem has been solved but much like our bigger and faster computers efficency takes a back seat for MORE. Just throw MORE at it and the problem is solved. It's a failure of tech, capitalism, and the environment.
Macs are the best at virtualizing macs.(look up hackintosh to see how many hoops must be jumped through on non mac hardware)
In corporate politics there is only one thing that 'wins' and that is profitability. That profitability comes from the workforce so the top leaders are usually very motivated, democratic people because the best ideas win and you need people on your side.
Thinking about the public sector, there is no KPI for a 'win'. When we try to start using statistics it becomes 'political', skewered, or hand waved away as a complex marcoeconomic force.
I'm glad we aren't worried about peak oil anymore but the climate and food scarity is going to be the next pitfall to avoid.
I feel like an idiot because I see the same behavior with the variable 'not in my organization' with transport rules and how many false positives I've had. I can clearly see the usage of different exchange servers being used in my environment when my company acquires a bunch of users. It falsely flags them because they are using a different shared exchange resource.
I've heard problems with people who use the tool but as a patient to be able go see a decade plus of my hospital visits, checkups, scans, and x rays is pretty amazing.
The economically disadvantage use plastic in their everyday life and an arbitrary tax on it would negatively effect them and make their lives harder.
At the same time they can see through the income gap that those who could afford an increase of plastic still shit all over the environment and would further lead to a divide in the issue.
The most recent example of this is people complaining about plastic straws whilst private jet use in unabated.
If you operate in 1% space of wealth there are and should be risks. Making everything the lowest common denominator literally leaves us with Camacho for president.
And speaking for neurology methodology for time series tests subtraction sucks! https://www.researchgate.net/publication/12369885_How_to_Avo...
They aren't a huge security company so I don't know how easy it is to escape detection however their verbose reporting of application version changes, protocol usage, destination lists, and integration with Virus total gives me some sort of confidence.
I've grown up watching this unfold and I'm shocked that the power groups seem to be so ineffectual at times that it's laughable(but that may be by design...)
Society has scalability problem. It might be the inability for the human mind to care about every little detail of life that makes it function or with increased scale comes with greater perverse actors and the system needs needs counterweight to it.
America has been divided packaged and sold with little care about the ramifications down the road. We started off well, we broke up monopolies,(standard oil) protected people woth(glass-steagall) but then we lost our way and trillions can now be lost by the pentagon with little then a blink. Local construction costs skyrocket compared to other parts of the world, and we've created a horrible system of guaranteed profit in both colleges and homes allowing the prices to be inflated.
>99% of the population will delegate the decision of what code is allowed to run to someone, be it the manufacturer, the government, some guy on the Internet or whatever. For that 99% of the population, by the way, it's actually more beneficial to have restrictions on what software can be installed to avoid malware
I do not agree with this. You are saying people are too stupid to make decisions and that is amoral in my opinion.
>"Impossible to leave" is not a matter of closed or open, but it's a matter of social networks in general. You could make Facebook free software and its problems wouldn't disappear.
Data portability is a thing. This was the original problem with FB and thats how we got 'takeout'.
>Yes, it's been years since I talked someone face to face or on the phone and I cannot send letters anymore.
>Is this Mr. Robot talking now?
Using the extreme in arguments is dishonest. We are talking on HN where it is a selective group of like minded people(bubble). How does your delivery driver communicate with their social circles? Or anyone that services you? You will find different technical solutions are used as you move up and down the social hierarchy.
>The main problem with privacy and computer control is a collective one that must be solved through laws.
Technology moves faster than what any law maker can create. We do not need more laws as technology advances but rather an enforcement of personal rights and protections enabling users to be aware of what is happening. It appears you are stating "people aren't smart enough to control their devices" and "We need laws to govern people" vs my argument that "people should be given the freedom to chose" and "existing laws should be enforced and policy makers should protect citizens with informed consent".
Everyone is probably already arming space to the teeth. I guess it's better than mutually assured destruction?
